Chapter 32 Competition

Che and Asma wandered in the forest, patrolling around and looking for deer around.

However, they didn't see a single deer after patrolling all the way.

Asma was puzzled by this, and Che came out to explain: "You can see deer in the deep forest. Deer are very timid animals and often live in the depths of the forest to avoid their natural enemies."

"We should be at the edge of the entire forest now, so the probability of encountering deer is relatively small, but it doesn't matter. Deer will come out to forage at dusk."

"We just need to wait quietly. There is abundant water and grass here, and there should be many deer coming to forage."

Che said as he jumped onto the branch of a big tree, and Asma followed suit.

The two patrolled on the tree while waiting for the deer to appear.

As the sky gradually darkened, just as the two were waiting, a long deer cry came from a distance.

Che and Asma looked at each other, then pressed down their bodies, trying to avoid making any noise, and jumped on the tree to the place where the deer cry came from.

Sure enough, a herd of deer was seen in front of them. There were six deer in it, and they were all male deer, with big antlers on their heads.

Che touched the hemp rope behind his waist and whispered to Asma: "Try to catch as many as you can."

The male deer below heard some movement and looked around vigilantly, but did not look up to see Che and Asma.

After confirming that there were indeed no predators around, the male deer continued to lower its head and eat the tender grass on the ground and the wild fruits on the bushes.

Che and Asma waited patiently until the male deer completely let down their guard, and then jumped down together.

The herd of deer sensed the danger and scattered in an instant. The male deer took a step and ran away in all directions. The speed was so fast that ordinary people could hardly catch up.

It is indeed difficult to capture without hurting the deer.

No wonder the Nara family, who have been raising deer for generations, developed the shadow binding technique to catch deer.

Asma ran after a deer and ran away in an instant.

Seeing this, Che took the opportunity to cast a shadow spell, using the narrow shadows in the woods at dusk to instantly capture the remaining five deer.

At the moment, Che and the deer were unable to move, but Che knew the Shadow Clone Technique, and he had pretended to learn it from Fugaku, so he could use it openly now.

Che split a shadow clone, picked up the hemp rope behind the waist of the original body and tied up the five deer.

The original body lifted the shadow spell, took the hemp rope from the shadow clone's hand and strung the five deer together, then led the deer in front and began to lead the herd to continue eating grass leisurely.

Seeing that Che did not hurt himself, the deer continued to eat as if nothing had happened. After all, the world is not as big as the stomach, and eating full is the most important thing.

When Asuma came back, exhausted and even a little embarrassed, holding a deer, the five deer here had been eating grass for a while.

Asuma asked in shock: "How did you catch these five deer?!"

Che said half-truthfully: "I relied on my shadow clone."

Asuma had no choice but to accept this statement, and then put down the deer in his arms, tied a hemp rope around the deer's neck and led it up.

The two of them each led a deer and continued to patrol the forest.

But not long after walking, the six deer seemed unwilling to walk anymore, and some resisted the two people's traction.

Che knew that he couldn't force it, otherwise it would be counterproductive, so he and Asuma tied the deer to the tree.

The two continued to patrol the forest.

On the way, Asuma suddenly said: "Uchiha Che, let's have a match."

Che was a little surprised, because Che had no intersection with Asuma since entering the Ninja School, and Che only felt that Asuma was very disgusted with him at the beginning.

Unexpectedly, Asuma would take the initiative to ask for a written test, and Che looked at Asuma with a puzzled expression.

Asuma immediately explained his intentions and said, "I've been tossing and turning in the past few days, and I feel that you are about to become the nightmare of my life."

"You know? The first time I fell in love with a girl was when I saw Hong. I wanted to pursue her, but you got there first."

"After being defeated by you in love, I practiced hard and wanted to surpass you in strength. But I found that I couldn't compare with you as a ninja. Even Kakashi, the person I always wanted to surpass, was defeated by you."

"So my current thought is to compete with you in an upright manner. Even if I lose, I can accept it calmly."

In this uninhabited forest, Asuma opened his heart to Che and spoke openly for the first time.

Che was silent for a while, which made Asuma feel a little nervous.

Fortunately, Che's subsequent words made Asuma feel relieved, "Okay, what shall we compete?"

"We will compete twice, and each of us will set the topic once. If we can't decide the winner in the end, we will go to Hong for the third game." Asuma spoke his thoughts very smoothly, and it seemed that he had rehearsed it in his mind for a long time in advance.

"Okay, then I'll decide the first round." After a brief thought, Che bent down to pick up a stone on the ground and said, "The first round is stone throwing."

"Stone throwing?" Asuma was a little confused.

Che explained, "Stone is one of the earliest weapons of mankind. It was originally used for hunting. However, we are in the forest of Nara family, so it is not easy to use animals for hunting. Let's see who can throw farther."

"The rules are that you are not allowed to use chakra or other means, and you have to use the same stone."

Asuma showed a clear expression and immediately agreed to such rules.

So Che handed the stone to Asuma, and drew a horizontal line on the ground with his foot, saying: "This is the starting point, you throw first."

Asuma stood behind the starting point, holding the stone tightly, warmed up a little, and then threw it with all his strength. The stone drew a beautiful arc and flew into the distance.

A dull sound came from the distance, and the stone fell into the grass.

Che said: "You go to the stone and throw it back, then stand still and let me throw it once."

Asuma did so, so Che picked up the stone thrown back, stood back next to the starting point, posed a standard stone throwing posture, and then with a chant, the cuffs cut through the air, and the stone shot out instantly.

The stone passed by Asuma, and Asuma could even feel the air wave raised by the stone.

Finally, the stone fell dozens of meters in front of Asuma, and Che won the first match.

Che did not use chakra and cursed power this time, and relied entirely on the experience of his previous life and his own strength to complete this shocking attack.

Che recalled that he had killed a big black bear with a stone while hunting in his previous life.

"What will the second match be?" Che asked.

Asuma took out his two chakra knives and said, "Let's compete in knife throwing. This time we can use chakra."
